LADWP’s Response

Rates and the Rate Setting Process

• Extent of Process Depends on type of rate change– Base rates and ordinance changes: require approval per process above– Pass through charges require Board approval only, or are automatic (purchased water).

Pass-through cost recovery mechanisms recover:

– Revenue decoupling mechanisms exist for Power and Water to protect utility finances from volume fluctuations.
